Download the file, rename it to update.zip and put it in the root directory on your sd card.

Awesome!!!!
I can be such a noob sometimes!!!!! But thank you so much!!!!!!
EDIT!!!!!!
Every time I try to install a new ROM through ROM Manager it keeps failing.. All I see is a picture of a desire lying down with a big red question mark over it.. What to do?

Let me guess... you're probably using Mac OSX 10.6.x.
If so, anything you download having .zip extension (or any compressed file for that matter) is automatically extracted.
You can find the .zip file in the Trash. Just send it over to somewhere convenient.

I do, but i downloaded the file directly on the Phone :-s

[Q] Droid Radio Update Issues

Hey All,
I have literally spent the past 6+ hours trying to update my radio to version 2.x on my Droid Incredible, and it isn't working. No matter what method I try, which image, or which ROM, nothing works.
What I am Currently Running:
Sky Raider 2.5.2 Vanilla
I am s-off
I ran the latest unrEVOked3 to gain root access
I downloaded the latest usb drivers
What is happening:
When I download PB31IMG.zip, I place it into my newly re-formatted FAT32 sdcard in the root directory. After that, I launch it into hboot, and try to have it run the update. Unfortunately, no matter what I do, it cannot find the image.
I have also tried the normal version of de-upgrading, but I get stuck on this step and cannot proceed any further.
Any help would be appreciated!
Zack

This should be in General.

There is no directory called root on the sdcard. What it means is to just put it on ur sdcard, do not put it in any folders. Just /sdcard/

Try making sure radio is named radio.img make sure amdroid-info.txt is ok, and make sure it is named PB31IMG.zip not pb31img.zip or .zip.zip
Or tcberg could be right, and you may be putting the file in a non-existing directory.

How will I know if amdroid-info.txt is "ok"?
I made sure it's named properly - my bad on that, and the directory. Saying root just meant the main directory on the sdcard, not in any folders.

I would either: download the file again, or take an android-info.txt from a splash screen zip

Do you know where I could find the latter of those two options?

The android info txt???? Its in all the solash screens..just go into tje themes subforum and there are like 5 threads on them....all you have to do is just rip the txt file out of there and place it in the radio zip

I apologize for my ignorance, this is the first android root I've done. But how would I go about doing that?

1. Download a splash screen zip from the themes forum
2. Find the android-info.txt
3. Copy it to your desktop and paste it into the PB31IMG.zip file

you have to press power volume down and the dedicated camera button at once to gain access to the root of your sdcard

I would be willing to bet that PB31IMG.zip is actually PB31IMG.zip.zip on your sd. The file in windows should just read PB31IMG and nothing more.

lmao......

There is a known issue of the pmg file getting corrupted when downloading to your computer and transferring to your phone.trying downloading the file directly to your phone.

The problem is most likely that your sd card isn't formatted to fat 32. Backup the radio image format your card to fat 32 instead of fat put the image on the root of your sd and try again.
Make sure that the file isn't corrupted and that you are in fact s off. Download it again to be sure and re format as well. Either your card is formatted wrong or your image is corrupted.

You can also try messing with the format cluster size. Try default allocation size first, if that doesn't work tinker with the sizes.
Make sure you have the correct radio update file and do not change the file name at all. Here is a link to the correct one, download it and try again.

If you put your phone into fastboot mode, connect your phone to your computer via USB and run the file you have downloaded.
It should flash the rom onto your desire.

Is it an .exe file or a .zip file?
If it is an exe try running it from your computer.
If it is a zip file you *might* need to rename it to PBxxxxx.zip ( the actual name flashes up when you enter hboot) and put it on your SD card. When you enter hboot it should flash it.
I am not 100% sure about the zip method so you should wait until someone else confirms.
Someone has replied in one of your other threads saying he had the same problem? Maybe he can help?

it doesnt open up my memory card so i can put it there

Anyone knows?

dont you have a memory card reader or something?
can you boot into recovery? if you can you can mount your sdcard there so it can be read from your pc.
btw if your telus rom file is a .zip, then make sure it is renamed to PB99IMG.zip before you put it onto your memory card. when you reboot into fastboot mode, the zip file should run automatically.

hello . i do have memory card reader just bought it . when i choose recovery the screen goes black and nothing happens.
i just tried the -volume+power it didnt work i did change the file name. then i press recovery again still doesnt work

If you have PB99IMG.zip on your SD card you shouldn't even need to go to recovery.
Start in fastboot mode (power and back) then select bootloader.
It should check your SD card for the file and flash it.

so go to fasboot mode which is - + power? then select bootloader it looks for files but it goes quick . it says something about *no image wrong . cant see it it goes fast

You haven't mentioned it here but you have another thread about a failed root.
If that is the case then you need an official RUU (The .Exe files to update the phone) which can be found at shipped-roms.com and try to flash back to standard using a PC. None of the rooted/custom ROMS will work so a zip file os probably out of the question.
If this doesn't work then you're stuck I'm afraid, you may be able to pass it off and get a repair or replacement as a dead phone.

What the hell!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How come my bootloader wont see the pc36img.zip and give me the chance to update? I want to install a custom splash screen. BTW, all of the three evos I have in the family have this issue. My hboot is 0.93.0000 PLEASE HELP

Is it looking for it? If it's looking for it and doesn't find it then you either don't have it on the root of your sd or you named it improperly. Check to make sure it's named pc36img.zip and NOT pc36img.zip.zip which is a common mistake. If it's all 3 having the same problem I'm betting the name is wrong.

The name is fine. I see it in recovery and it says pc36img.zip When I boot to hboot it it does a scan, bout one second and nothing. All I see is fastboot, recovery, etc.. It has always done this. I dont understand. Why me?

I dunno man, the fact that you have three evos all doing the same thing makes it really seem like user error. Have you tried other pc36img.zip files?

After all this time I figured out what I was doing wrong. When you open the sd card on the pc and see a zip folder, that file is already a .zip . So if it is named pc36img.zip it is actually pc36img.zip.zip . I did not realize this. When naming a zip folder, you don't want .zip at the end of the name, It's automatically added. I know you probably know that but I'm sure there is someone who doesn't.

That is exactly what I was referring to. Glad you got it figured out.

Lol

[Q] Trouble installing Hyperdrive

Hey guys
I've gone through all the steps as instructed, but can't install HD RSL15 successfully. I downloaded the installation file from a mac which then automatically unzips the folder. Zipped it back up with 7zip and threw it on the phone. I went through all the prescribed steps using TWRP 2.6 and AndroidUnite's video on youtube (How To Install TWRP Recovery And Flash Custom ROM) as example. This is the 2nd time Ive downloaded the file and I switched over from CWM based on advice in these threads.
When it comes to installing the ROM the window ends up looking like this:
Checking for MD5 file...
Skipping MD5 check: no MD5 file found.
Error flashing zip...
Updating partition files...
FAILED
Have I done something wrong during the previous steps (flashing, installing recovery) or does it have something to do with the method of zipping the files (tried fastest and store as compression options, doing store makes the file unreadable by the phone during recovery mode)?
I've read there is supposed to be an md5 file in the installation files, but mine didn't have any. Can someone let me know about the contents of the zip file so that I can zip it up as intended or something. Please help
PS. I know this is a copy of another reply i posted, but i cannot delete those and i haven't received any help in the other threads

I'm having a similar issue, only I run the checksum before I flash and the md5 is never the same. Has anyone fixed this?

KissyLynn, can u send me a screen shot of ur zip file's contents please

Don't let your Mac unzip the file. There is probably a problem when unzipping or rezipping. Just leave the file the way it is, don't unzip it.

Here is a screenshot of the contents, I really don't think it is going to work if you unzip and zip the file. You usually can't just rezip a rom file. The md5 will be different and it will give you an error. Not sure what you are using on your mac to download, but maybe try with chrome. The file should not automatically unzip, and if it does there should be a zip file intact still somewhere on your mac. You need to flash the original zip file.

Hey Stelv, i did a screen share and am busy copying what i hope is the original zip file (hyperdrive rsl15 universal s3.zip.download), but we'll have to see, files are still being copied over individually so not sure it's right. I don't see an md5 file in that main directory, where is it situated??

Md5 is achieved by opening terminal on your mac and typing Md5 and then a space and then drag and drop your zip file into terminal and hit enter. If it doesn't match the md5 number in the hyperdrive thread its not going to install correctly. There are also md5 checker apps on the market.
